The Factory and some of the work

Hello, i apologize if this is a bit late.

Aside from administrative day to day stuff, I've been enjoying my time at The Factory. I'm continually intrigued by the kind of work the students make. The other day i worked sound for a young girl that is making a film about labels and how they create atrophy within the LGBT community. She was conducting an interview with a friend, and they discussed how they disagree with the use of labels like "stud" or "femme" used to categorize, or even 'pigeonhole', young lesbian women. This tendency to create labels is not only common outside of the community but in fact rampant within those very same social circles.

I have been keeping up on some college research for the kids, after doing a lot of research on private and not to mention expensive schools, I have been focusing my attention on schools with low tuition costs that still offer similar and affordable courses in film production.

Below you can see some samples of the student work, the first clip is a video portrait on Malcolm, a Factory student.
